Why health insurance is not a good idea when it comes to resource mobilisation: "...the reforms are anchored in the fundamental assumption that financing will be obtained primarily through premium contributions, which is not a good idea." @EdwineBarasa

1.5 million people still die from TB every year. #unitetofight.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

A child dies from #malaria every two minutes.
One death is one too many.

🚨 Today, WHO recommends RTS,S, a groundbreaking malaria vaccine, to reduce child illness & deaths in areas with moderate and high malaria transmission https://t.co/xSk58nTIV1

A historic moment as @WHO approves the worlds first #malariavaccine. Proud to be contributing to the fight to #endmalaria. https://t.co/KUJByVHSiY

We have now lost more people from COVID-19 in the US than we did from the Spanish Flu in 1918. Amazingly, w/ over 675k people gone, we still have so-called leaders not taking this seriously. They’d rather ban masks & vaccines than take reasonable steps to solve the problem.

Parents of children aged 5 to 11 may soon breathe easier. The Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective in these kids, the companies announced. Now the F.D.A. must review the data.  https://t.co/FOrwl220gQ

You don’t have to like Indian food or spices but to call “curry” a spice is ignorant at best. @washingtonpost and @geneweingarten should know better. A lesson in Indian cooking - Indian spices are not “curry” and all Indian food are not “curries”. Thanks @PadmaLakshmi.

[Padma Lakshmi @PadmaLakshmi]

So I had a few thoughts on that piece in the @washingtonpost about Indian food… 😏

The playbook of 2021 is different to 2020. 2020 about buying time for science. 2021 about sustainable exit. Vaccines are the game-changer towards pivoting from no cases (ideal pre-vaccine) to managing Covid through vaccines, testing & caution. https://t.co/99Wff5rDUs

Updated @CDC guidance on masks is confusing. The “high risk” areas are those with people unaccepting of masks. In light of #variants and potential transmission by #vaccinated individuals masks indoors should be universal

[CNN @CNN]

To prevent further spread of the Delta variant, the CDC updated its mask guidance to recommend fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors when in areas with "substantial" and "high" transmission of Covid-19, which includes nearly two-thirds of US counties. https://t.co/tFUtmbZi3Y
